In barely one generation, we've moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them - often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.

On vacation, I totally unplug. I don't bring a laptop with me.

I am not an 'unplug' person. I like being plugged in.

We get sucked into the Internet and streaming information, and it's time to just unplug and look within.

When I'm with my parents, that's the place I can unplug. That's the place I can shut down and not worry about work or what's going on. I go home and hang out with them. I sleep more there than any place else ever.

I have those moments with my kids and family where we try to unplug and just be in the moment. We put everything else to the side and just be there with our family.

I think it's nice sometimes not to be plugged in 24/7 to email and the Internet and everything else. It's nice to get away.

I find it refreshing to unplug from it for a while. You kind of forget how deeply you get embedded in it.

We can be incredibly disconnected in this day and age with computers and cell phones.
